Always up to date

Every Mass, in one shared calendar

The whole diocese sees the same live calendar — every Mass, confession, funeral, and wedding, with coverage changes reflected the moment they happen. No more comparing spreadsheets or waiting on an email chain.

No double-booking

Know exactly who's covering what

Once someone claims a request, it's confirmed instantly — for them, for the original pastor, and for the diocesan office. No double-booking, no awkward phone calls to confirm who actually showed up.

Every feature starts with a real problem someone ran into keeping a diocese's Masses covered, not a sales meeting.

Why it works

Everything the diocese needs.

One shared tool, built around how the diocese actually works.

Flexible matching

Every pastor sets how far they're willing to travel, so requests reach those close enough to say yes — or your diocese can send them to everyone, or to substitute-only priests.

Multi-parish support

Clergy serving more than one parish can list every home parish — matching always uses whichever is closest.

One-off events

Funerals, weddings, and anything else outside the regular Mass schedule get their own fixed-date coverage requests.

Built for every role

Pastors and diocesan staff each see exactly what they need — nothing more.

✓ One tap · no password

One shared calendar

Every Mass, confession, funeral, and wedding across the diocese, on one calendar and a parish map.

The flow

Four steps, start to finish.

From a time-off request to a covered Mass, in four steps.

01

Request a sub

A pastor needing coverage — for a Mass, confession, funeral, wedding, or anything else — submits a request in a few taps.

02

Diocese approvesOptional

If your diocese wants a say, the request goes to the diocesan office for a quick sign-off first. Or turn on auto-approval and it goes straight out.

03

Nearby clergy are matched

Clergy within each person's own travel radius are found automatically and emailed a one-time claim link — no phone tree required.

04

First to claim, covers it

Whoever responds first is confirmed instantly, and the shared calendar updates for everyone to see.

Why it matters

“The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus.”

St. John Vianney

The Curé of Ars spent up to sixteen hours a day in the confessional. I built Clergy Connect so that when a priest can't be at the altar or in the confessional, finding someone who can takes minutes, not an afternoon on the phone.

Hi, I'm Ben. Glad you're here.

I'm a parishioner in Hudson, Wisconsin, a member of the Knights of Columbus, and a dad who loves building simple tools. Questions come straight to me, not a ticket queue.
